Christian is a good backup but last season looks like a career year, I'd look to replace him given his age if the option comes. Molina and Noriega really need to be full-time starters otherwise they'll never develop fully - which is going to be a problem for Molina, doesn't appear to be a spot for him.

Molina and Thumying don't have the PD that I think would help them get on base. Call up Thumying and put him in the vs RHP lineup as a DH/1B. Molina should be played as a DH/1B in the vs LHP lineup. Christian and Noriega are good defensive players to be used as backups.

Long relief is a nice spot to hide these kinds of guys, most games that get to them usually end poorly for the team anywho. Toto - Don't know why you'd wait on him, he looks like he's just 5-6 pops away from being capable of holding his own? Miranda - I don't like his build, so to me nothing lost by keeping him down. Trent - I like him more than Miranda. I'd have given him some 1b/DH time either during the cup if you don't care how you do or during the regular season if you think you're going to finish mid pack.

I agree with you on all counts, I'm just using the logic that these guys need equal playing time at all minors levels (well, between A and AAA) and they're all a little short on AAA time by comparison. But if they're ready, they're ready. May bring Torres up right away, and...wait, now that I think about it, I'm needing some LH bats against RHP! Miranda or Trent may get the call tonight.

Which might mean its time to call and end to Sheppard's tenure. Hasn't turned out like I'd hoped, though there hasn't been much in the way of alternatives and I'm short on OF and his range is decent.
